Interesting. You mean something more advanced than you can do with some command-line scripting?

#12Anything that any salesman or customer service employee mentions that plugs into salesforce. A mail button for sales force ? A print button for salesforce ? A make my phone call customer button inside salesforce button? Oh sweet only $20 per month per salesman....so we have 50 people on salesforce so only 1,000 a month, only $12,000 a year? This should help get us out of dept so fast !!! FML.

I presumed that's why the question was asked; someone is looking for opportunities.

#20Earlier quoted context omitted.
My current employer doesn't use Slack and instead uses XMPP and a web front-end called "Movim". I can tell you right away, it is shit. I'd gladly pay 10k/year for the privilege of using Slack, so please don't bash on it until you realise how bad the alternatives are.
Wait until you get Slack, then you can revise your statement.
I've used it for talking to third-party clients that hire us and I don't see why should I revise my statement. It just works, it does the job just fine. The only complaint is that the desktop client melts my battery but given that I run it in the browser it isn't that big of a deal.
Also, I forgot to mention - we did have an Slack clone called Mattermost running and the overall response from the dev team has been positive. The only reason it was shut down is because of some open-source fanatics who thought Mattermost wasn't open-source enough (apparently the fact that it's backed by a big company providing support is a sin) so we've switched to this XMPP abomination.
